I need advice please (SUTD/NTU)

[junmingx]

Hi there I have just received my admission outcome yesterday and I got rejected. I am from Temasek Polytechnic's Aerospace Engineering and my gpa is 3.45. I know that it's fairly poor to go anywhere but SUTD is a more holistic base uni and I applied it together with a dip plus of management of enterprise, excellent cca record of 105 points with peer mentorship, 2 letters of recommendation from my lecturers and finally, I also included a short video of me explaining my Lufthansa Technical Training hands on experience in TP. I am really afraid that no local uni will accept me. I am looking more into SUTD and NTU and I don't want to consider SIT as of yet. Do you think it is possible for me to get into NTU or SUTD? I have also read the forums and I realised that the chain of people who got called down for interview in mostly people from JC, so does that mean I will really have no where to go? I am hoping to enter SUTD's EPD pillar or NTU's mechanical engineering do I at least have a little hope left? Considering the point that I have to serve NS for 2 years first though!

See my response in the other thread. The problem with you is the problem does not even lie with you. You have done all you can. The rest depends on luck (which you don't have, neither do you have the grades, thus your predicament). Always remember to have a back up plan for the back up plan since you neither control 1) How many more A-level discretionary entry entrants apply for either programmes 2) You do not control how well the current year poly graduates have done.

I suggest you do some praying, drink some water with talisman burnt in it, build up your resistance for rejection, think up a back up plan for your back up plan, get some sleep and wake up to ask your parents if they have money to send you outside of singapore if nothing works.
